A stable and easy-to-manage solution with good security and firewalls
The product is good, easy to manage , and works fine.  We have encountered issues while integrating the product with Enterprise Management Systems. Huawei platform is good for Huawei but we face issues when we integrate it with other models.  I have been working with the product for one and a…

Highly scalable, especially suitable for complex and large-scale network deployments
The "Commit" feature stands out. When you try to commit commands, you have some options like sandbox config, leaving those temporary for 60 seconds. This feature allows you to commit configuration changes to the candidate configuration, and then review them for errors before committing them to the active configuration. Another feature that I like is the integration with Cisco routers. This allows you to connect Juniper MX routers to Cisco routers and have them work together seamlessly. We never have interoperability issues.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product uses a non-proprietary command line, which makes it compatible across many different systems."
"The routers have mainstream features that fulfill our needs."
"When we started, the connection was amazing for the 100G between the switches and the co-switch. What the students typically use for school is a maximum is 40 so they now have faster technology."
"There is a lot of information available about routers and how to configure Huawei Routers right now."
"Internet access is a good feature."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei Enterprise Routers is if have two networks at different geographical locations with a great deal of distance they work together as if they are on the same cloud network."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution provides support for 5G connectivity."
"The flexibility of the MPLS configuration is very good."
"We are able to easily build chassis with Juniper MX Series Routers."
"The most valuable feature is reliability."
"The solution is quite stable. We've found it to be very good. There aren't bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"On the SRX, the firewall is very easy to configure, especially when you want to filter out traffic."
"The functionality and stability are great."
"It is very stable and scalable."
"Users are able to easily configure the whole solution via simple data."
 

Cons

"Syntax in the implementation process could be easier to understand for a new user or someone who doesn’t have prior experience using the product."
"It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed."
"The solution's technical support could be improved."
"The only problem I see is configuration loss."
"We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features."
"It would be better if the vendor provided support for small enterprises."
"Lacks sufficient market availability."
"In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt."
"Juniper have addressed issues with the MX204, but it still has a limited number of interfaces. Ideally, it should support up to twenty or twenty-four interfaces to better serve smaller service providers. Additionally, the MX304 doesn't support subscriber management, also known as BNG, which I believe should be included."
"The web interface can be improved."
"While it is challenging to pinpoint specific areas for enhancement, there is room for better support and updates for Ansible."
"We'd like them to be capable of adding firewall options to the license."
"In terms of improvement, I would like for it to effectively protect against the broadcast storms, multicast storms, and DDoS attacks."
"Automation can also be improved."
"Better documentation to assist with implementation would be helpful."
"Most IT equipment now has graphical interfaces, and there is a need for the Juniper routers to have a more intuitive web interface."

"There is no licence for this solution, but the solution could be cheaper."

"There are additional licensing costs. I am aware of additional licenses and which services are added to the router."
"The price is reasonable compared to Cisco's."

"I would rate it around a three. While I'm not deeply involved in pricing discussions, I believe it is comparatively more affordable than Cisco."
"An additional license can be purchased for support of a next-generation firewall."
"I would rate the pricing model a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is not cheap."
"The pricing of Juniper MX Series Routers is okay compared to other technologies."
"There is a license for this solution and the price is very competitive. The cost is less expensive than some competitors, such as Cisco. There are additional costs for support licenses."
"We have to pay for the device and licensing. The support service requires additional costs."
